Value Collection -48546-6 Hex Socket Cap Screw 3/8-24 Unf

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION -48546-6 is a partially threaded hex socket cap screw designed for high-strength fastening applications in mechanical assemblies, fixtures, and structural connections. It features a 3/8-24 UNF thread size and a 5-inch length under head, providing ample thread engagement for demanding installations. Constructed from alloy steel with a black oxide finish, this fastener delivers solid corrosion resistance and durability in industrial and trade environments. The 3/8-inch hex drive is compatible with standard hex keys and socket drive tools. Installation is performed by machinists, maintenance technicians, millwrights, and general trade professionals working across manufacturing, HVAC equipment assembly, and mechanical service applications.

This cap screw is suited for use in bolted joint assemblies where fine-thread engagement and controlled clamping force are required. The 3/8-24 UNF thread profile offers finer pitch than coarse-thread equivalents, making it preferable in applications requiring precise torque control or where vibration resistance is a priority. It is appropriate for use in metal-to-metal fastening, jig and fixture construction, and equipment fabrication where alloy steel strength is specified. Minimum order quantity is 10 pieces; package quantity is 1.

Key Features

• 3/8-24 UNF fine thread for precise torque control and vibration resistance
• 5-inch length under head for deep fastening and extended thread engagement
• Partially threaded shank allows controlled shoulder bearing in bolted joints
• Alloy steel construction meets ASME/ANSI B18.3 and ASTM A574 standards
• Black oxide finish provides moderate corrosion resistance and reduces light reflection
• 3/8-inch hex socket drive compatible with standard hex keys and socket tools

Compatibility

Designed as a standard ASME/ANSI B18.3 and ASTM A574 compliant hex socket cap screw suitable for use in applications specifying 3/8-24 UNF partially threaded alloy steel fasteners.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed using a 3/8-inch hex key or socket driver. Ensure mating threads are clean and free of debris before fastening. Power down or de-energize any equipment before replacing fasteners in mechanical assemblies. Follow applicable ASME or equipment manufacturer torque guidelines for 3/8-24 UNF alloy steel fasteners.
